Street Machine is an Australian automotive magazine published by Are Media featuring customised cars from every era.

While Street Machine was originally titled "Van Wheels", its history can be traced back to the Australian Hot Rodding Review, or AHRR, of the 1960s and 1970s.

Scott quickly put the skills learnt from time spent in newspapers into Street Machine – increasing publishing frequency from six issues per year to eight and introducing some one-off car giveaways, which included an original A9X Torana and a Ford Falcon GTHO Phase III.

In 1988, Street Machine started supporting Chic Henry with his then new Summernats Car Festival, by paying for the burnout pad, underwriting the event and signing up as major sponsor.

When Street Machine started assembling the current editorial team in 2000, sales had fallen well below the 50,000 mark that Paradise had achieved in the mid-eighties.

Each August, the staff of Street Machine Magazine vote for their favourite cars from the previous 12 issues and the top 16 become the SMOTY finalists.

The finalists cover everything from pure street cars to hot rods, elite hall and drag-strip terrors.
